Arunachala Shiva is a profound homage to the spiritual greatness of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi who is one of India's most well-known Sages. Included in this book is his famous text Who Am I? (Nan Yar) in which he declares that Self-enquiry is the most direct route to Self-realisation. Premananda dialogues with David Godman and James Swartz.
Arunachala Shiva, beautifully illustrated with 100 photographs, paints an intimate picture of Sri Ramana's life and takes us behind the scenes to moments with his closest disciples. The compelling commentaries offer new and unexpected insights into his teachings, challenging ideas and assisting a final realisation.
The unique nature of these interviews is revealed in the DVD Preview included in the book. David Godman has lived at Arunachala for thirty years, becoming an authority on Sri Ramana. He is the author of many books on Sri Ramana and his close disciples, most notably Be As You Are. James Swartz, an American Vedanta teacher and author, visits Arunachala every year. His latest book How to Attain Enlightenment highlights the Vedanta approach to liberation.
Premananda is an English spiritual teacher with twenty years experience of Self-enquiry. He has held an annual retreat at Arunachala for the last fifteen years. He is the author of several books including Blueprints for Awakening
